PHILIP KIRBY, OF MOUNT SAVAGE, MARYLAND, ASSIGNOR OF ()NEIIALF TO II. D. LOIVERY, OF SAME PLACE.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,470, dated December 16, 188%. Application filed March 29, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP K'IRBY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Mount Savage, in the county of Alleghany and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying draw ings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved churn. Fig. 2 is aside clevation of the churn with the mechanism for operating the dasher removed. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe removable cross-piece or top-latch, and Fig. at is a detail view of the operatingdisks and handle.

Similar letters ol' reference indicate corre- $130l1llllg parts in all the figures.

My invention has relation to churns having rotary reciprocating dashers of that class in which the vertical dasher-statl' is operated by bands or straps fastened upon it at two different points, coiled around it in opposite directions at their point of attachment. and then fastened at their free ends to circular disks, so that by operating said disks a rotary reciprocating motion will be imparted to the dashcr-stat't' and dasher; and my improvement consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of the operating mechanism, as

hereinafter more i'ullydescribed and claimed. In the accompanying drawings, A denotes the churn, and B the dasher-stali', into the up 'per end of which is inserted a metallicstud or pin, (I. D is the upper and E thelower strap,

40 both of which are olleather or other suitable material, and fastened at one end to the staff, the upper strap-or band, I), being fastened to the staff just below the pin 0, while the lower strap or band, E, is fastened to the stafl just 5 above the cover F. The straps D and E are wound around the staff in opposite directions, one of them, D, being fastened removably at d to the disk G, and the other, E, being similarly fastened at e to the other disk, II. The

two disks G- and Hare united parallel to each other by the handle I. Uponone side of the I churn is a standard or upright, J, havinga l box, K lor theinsertion oftheremovable pin or bolt L, which is inserted through the centiers of the disks G and H, and upon which 1 these are journaled. By drawing out this i bolt and unhooking the straps D and E from their attachments to their respective disks l these may readily be removed when desired.

The upper end of the dasher-staff is braced by the latch-piece M, one end of which has a square aperture, N, fitting upon the tenoned or reduced upper end of the upright J, and held in place thereonby the pin I). The other end has a hole, P, for theinsertion of the stud or pin 0 in the upper end of the dasher-staff. Thus it will be seen that the staff may readily i be removed, whenever desired, by removing l the latch-piece M, which can be done simply by withdrawing its fastening pin or bolt 0 73 and unhooking the straps from their respectiveoperatingdisks.

Having thus described my invention, I claim l and desire tosecnre by Letters Patent of the United Sta-tes 5 In a churn of the described class, the eombination of the parallel vertical disks G H, I fixed on opposite sides of the handle I, and adapted to engage the operating bands or straps D E, and the post or upright J, provided with the box or bearing K, and disposed between the parallel disks, whereby said post or upright serves both as a bearing and a guide for the disks working on opposite sides thereof, substantially as shown and set I forth. I In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto atfixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
